LRoling Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Our office is decorating our work areas as a competition. All of our little cubicles are together in one area, so as a unit, we must come up with a Christmas decorating idea that is themed by our designation as the Technology department. Anybody have any ideas? We had an idea like what houses do with their lights and hook them up to their PC, and use a program to choreograph a sequence with music, but our budget is under $30. It's possible to do if I could find a program for free to sequence the lights. That's our only idea, any ideas from you guys and gals?

The_Unknown Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I say you ignore the price limit.... it'll be expected since an IT group coming in on time and under budget is pretty rare. Flip on down to the store and pick up some gingerbread kits... don't make them into houses though... create a Gingerbread Server room... use the icing for cables, gingerbread for racks, servers, the 'raised' floor, candies for dials and all those fun multi-coloured lights, and perhaps a few candy canes for decoration/warning signs/fire suppression systems. total cost... less than $50.

LRoling Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hmmm, gingerbread server room is a good idea, but the damn thing would take forever to create, and we have deadlines to meet, lol. But it may be worth a shot. LEDs would be nice as that was our aim, something along the lights, but looking for any ideas.

Budget and Deadline two words that don't exist in the IT world :-P Well.... they exist they just aren't used.

JoeC Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I think just covering the whole room with as many LED lights as possible, extra points for obscure nerdy symbols or words spelt in LEDs ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/518858-technology-office-christmas-decorating-ideas-help/#findComment-588111398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRoling Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yeah, I think other departments are doing that. We were trying to think of something unique, but this is just tough as far as IT related.

JoeC Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well, you could buy half a dozen USB Missile Launchers then get some little models of santa and reindeer, or people from the Nativity and hold an Office Missile Launching Championship :p You plug the launcher in and use your mouse to aim it, click to fire. Give each person 6 shots, and hold either a league style or cup style tournament :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/518858-technology-office-christmas-decorating-ideas-help/#findComment-588114613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
